I like stainless but not on a super grade.
Polished blue for the win.
It appears this rifle is available from several sources for about $1400.

I have 3 scoped bolt action hunting rifles, .257 bob, .270wsm, .338 win mag, and a Savage 99 in .308, going on 70 years old so probably really don't need another hunting rifle. they sure are pretty though. when I bought the wsm I really debated getting the .264. don't really know why I picked the wsm but I am very happy with it.

6.5 Manbun vs 6.5x55 Swede would be an interesting comparison, especially if the Swede were loaded to modern pressures.

Probably pretty equal except ManBun doesn't need a long action which makes a difference to some.

You like it because the 270wsm is the best if all WSM or WSSM cartridges. It does what very few in that caliber will until recently. That's why they just came up with the 6.8 Western, 27 Nosler. I bet the 270WSM will be the last to fall if the bunch. It's a fantastic round.

I agree. My son "stole" my original Model 70 Super Shadow and rebarreled it with a Lilja stainless tube, finished it at 27". His only regret was using the factory 1 in 10" twist, rather than a 1 in 8". Of course, it was a few years ago before the long range bullets were offered in .277. Still, it pushes a 150 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip 3200 FPS with MagPro and has been a death ray on everything he has aimed at. Not bad for a short action, and leaves the 6.5 "Needmore " in the dust.

I never understood how the small difference could be significant.

As if anyone would ever notice.
